Okay... Just when I thought I was starting to get used to this place.

What the hell is automail, and why do I keep hearing about it?

Seriously...?

It's prosthetic limbs. Like this. [Pushes up his right sleeve to reveal metal there.]

oedipuscomplex March 22 2009, 09:36:30 UTC

[He blinked as the other Ed pulled back his sleeve to show off the automail arm, actually taking a step back.]

Okay. I know I'm in the minority when it comes to... Siblings, family life in general, and overall society. Is it completely normal around here for other.. Uh, Eds.. To have fake limbs?

nearerthesun March 22 2009, 09:37:33 UTC

Seems to be the majority around here, though I've seen a couple Als with automail. [Frowns as he says that.] Lucky you.

oedipuscomplex March 22 2009, 09:39:34 UTC

Lucky-? Cause I don't need prosthetics? Why the hell does everyone else?

I've met a few Winrys that make it. It's pretty intriguing, really. Articulated prosthetic limbs that can actually read the electronic signals your nerves operate on and work like an actual limb would. One of the few things around here that actually sounds like science to me and not some weird magical... thing.

oedipuscomplex March 23 2009, 05:01:45 UTC

So, I'm guessing you're not one of the many Eds that has it, then?

mafia_ed March 23 2009, 05:18:53 UTC

No, the medical technology in my world definitely isn't at that level yet. If somebody looses a limb, the doctors in my world are more concerned with preventing gangrene than replacing it...

oedipuscomplex March 23 2009, 05:56:25 UTC

That doesn't sound good. Where I'm from, the medical technology depends on where you live, but I've never lost a limb to have to worry about it I guess.

Automail is what Winry hits me with wrenches for breaking.

oedipuscomplex March 23 2009, 05:00:45 UTC

What the hell do you do, that you break your arm so much?

upyourscolonel March 23 2009, 05:10:54 UTC

Well. It's not so much any more, but I used to get into a lot of fights.

oedipuscomplex March 23 2009, 05:54:20 UTC

Let me guess.

You're in the military, too?

Automail is the best type of prosthetic engineering, that's what it is.

oedipuscomplex March 24 2009, 02:33:05 UTC

So, I've heard.

It's kind of common around here, I take it.

automailmaker March 24 2009, 22:17:36 UTC

I see Ed's with automail everywhere. It's almost like walking around in Rush Valley.

I miss that place.

oedipuscomplex March 25 2009, 02:43:30 UTC

Uh... I'm not really familiar with anything around here. So, what's Rush Valley?
